Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | golutra | Yao Agents | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.0 | 5.8 | golutra — Golutra is a free desktop app for running multiple CLI agents in parallel, but its lack of file editing or sandboxing makes it more of a monitoring tool than a squad. |
| El Crítico | 5.3 | 5.8 | Yao Agents — This is an agent management platform, not an agent execution environment. |
| El Profesor | 3.5 | 2.0 | golutra — Golutra is a multi-agent orchestration layer for existing command-line tools, but its lack of file editing or verification capabilities limits its use for software engineering tasks. |
| La Inversora | 4.3 | 5.3 | Yao Agents — This is a classic venture-subsidized free tier play; use it for personal tasks, but don't build a business on a platform with no visible revenue model. |
| La Jefa | 4.8 | 4.8 | no preference |
| El Hacker | 5.3 | 3.8 | golutra — golutra is a slick GUI for running multiple CLI agents in parallel, but it's not a true multi-agent system and the BSL license limits long-term freedom. |
